“I have been with this Company for 21 years, and I look forward to providing continuity and stability, while at the same time fostering our culture of innovation,” Ianniello wrote in the email to CBS employees, according to HuffPost. “Today also marks a major transition for all of us as Leslie Moonves departs from CBS. Les’ departure occurs at a time when we are operating from a position of great strategic strength.”

Ianniello briefly mentioned CBS’s “steadfast commitment to diversity, inclusion and a safe and positive working environment,” but he did not mention how Moonves was accused of violating these ideals in a pair of New Yorker exposés. A dozen women have accused Moonves of sexual harrassment or assault between the 1980s and early 2000s, and claim that when they rebuffed the disgraced exec, he retaliated by hurting their careers.
